I had really hoped to have a deadline quilt top finished..but alas, that didn’t happen. Â I am close though.
The center is finished. Â I have three borders to put on yet. Â They are pieced so it’s just a matter of finding enough time to finish it all up.
In between other things…I’ve been sewing spool blocks. Â Here are another 35 to go with the others I already have done.
You may remember some time ago Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville showed a sneak peak of her spool quilt that will be out in her upcoming book. Â Well I want to have my spools all sewn and ready for when the book arrives. Â I wonder how many I should make. Â I have near 100 now but I am just taking a guess that I’ll need closer to 350. Â I have no idea..just a guess.
If I get 350 done before the book comes out, I think I’ll just stop, wait there are see what happens.
I need to put in some time at the quilting machine. Â I am slowly finding backs for the projects Kelli brought two weeks ago for me to machine a quilt. Â I have quite a stack that needs work as there are donation ones from some of the our readers in there too. Â For me..happiness is a stack of quilts that need quilting. Â Trust me, before I got my APQS, I would NEVER have said that!!
Well, I am off. Â Those borders aren’t going to get on that quilt all by themselves…and as soon as the borders do get on that quilt. Â It gets bumped to the top of the list!!

i’m making leader ender spool blocks too. i figured that if i wanted a king size quilt of just spool blocks i would need 1023! they add up fast, but needing that many may mean i’m doing spool blocks as leader enders for a few years….
